400 SS Anchor

[Hootenanny]

Did the 400 SS come with a 33 lb anchor and if it did, will a 44 lb fit?

Is there a better swivel I can use, any recommendations?

We lost our anchor Sunday afternoon, it snapped at the swivel during a decent wind gust.

Don't know about the size anchor, but its best to use a swivel one size larger then the chain (if 1/4 use 3/8). Also best to use 2 shackels and a swivel, which keeps the swivel from getting into a bind. I use galvanized over stainless because its stronger and this type

Much appreciated, I'm assuming with that swivel you do Chain - shackle - swivel - shackle - anchor?

Correct

Thanks brother. Just fyi, this anchor is a work of art. It?s a shame there is one buried in the mud in Paradise Cove.
